The National Center For Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado has this 15 year old “educational” video in their lobby, blaming the rise in the North Atlantic Oscillation on your car. The video also says that the NAO is the primary driver of climate in the Northern Hemisphere.

At the time they made the video, the NAO had already started a twenty year decline, which brought it to its lowest levels on record by 2010. Utterly clueless science.

11 Responses to Confirmation Bias In Climate Science

I have been gradually looking at the relationship between ocean oscillations and sea ice melt.
The difficulty in determining anything is that there are so many cycles causing forcings, , and the magnitude of each forcing may vary within in a cycle, so it is very hard to isolate a single forcing from what might be considered noise.

I would consider a more dominate forcing is found in a cycle of a millennium plus or minus about 200 years. So we have a Roman Warm Period, Dark Ages (not much info there) a medieval warm period, the Little Ice Age and then today. — and we could be in the beginning of a long term cooling cycle, again just could be.
Has anyone determined the amount of climate hysteria gleaned from about 1975 to about 2,000?

Thanks primarily to my research mentor, an extremely talented nuclear, geo-, cosmo- chemist from the Imperial University of Tokyo and the University of Arkansas, I was able to put together the following tentative pieces of a ~500 year mystery:

1. Copernicus reported the FORCE comes from a giant fountain of energy at the gravitational center of the Solar System in 1543.

2. The Catholic Church arrested, charged and convicted Galileo of heresy at the Inquisition in 1633 for telling others what Copernicus discovered. Galileo lived out the rest of his life under house arrest for teaching Earth orbits the Sun. For his role in initiating the scientific revolution, Galileo became known as the “Father of Modern Science.”

6. The nature of the FORCE is still indelibly recorded in exact masses of 3,000 types of atoms that compromise all matter. Although Stalin took over the Popes’s failed attempt to hide the FORCE that gives and sustains life in the universe after WWII:

It is truly incredible to think that the same folks who believe solar panels can provide enough energy to power the entire world, also believe that the Sun cannot possibly be responsible for temperature changes of a few degrees.
